I’m thinking the Chinese may have…maybe…read Sun Tzu.

Wouldn't they have burned all those books during the Cultural Revolution?

Under Mao China “Standarized” the Chinese Character set to make it more universal, but also to make it harder to read old works that might be counter revolutionary.

Probably along with everyone who read them.

They may have kept a few copies for the People’s Liberation Army High Command. You don’t expect a society that bans guns to disarm its enforcers.
